Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2145 Improving Strength

Qin Sang took out the Golden Sky-binding Lock, and in an instant the room was filled with golden light.

When it was not activated, the Golden Lock to Bind the Sky was only the size of a palm. Qin Sang held it in his palm and looked at it carefully.

The gold lock is tightly clasped, and there are faint cloud patterns engraved on the surface.

Qin Sang tried to probe the inner part of the golden lock with his spiritual consciousness, and clearly sensed the spirituality of the Golden Lock. The spiritual fetus had been nurtured to a very high level, and it was not far from transformation. For a spiritual treasure, if it could pass this level, it would be able to give birth to a spirit in the spiritual fetus, and change its fate, but this level was as difficult as ascending to heaven, and countless powerful spiritual treasures were always stuck before this level.

When Qin Sang touched the spiritual fetus, he immediately felt a strong sense of rejection. According to common sense, if the cultivator and the spiritual treasure are extremely compatible, they will be able to feel it the moment of contact and easily gain the spiritual treasure's recognition.

The spirit fetus of the spirit treasure has not yet developed spiritual intelligence, and everything is driven by instinct. If the spirit treasure does not recognize you at the first meeting, it will be almost impossible to make the spirit treasure recognize you in the future, so you can only use the "Tongbao Jue" to forcibly subdue it.

Over the years, many weapon refiners have spared no effort in studying ways to subdue spiritual treasures. Similar secret techniques have emerged one after another, but the effects vary greatly.

For example, most secret techniques rely on harsh conditions, which are difficult for ordinary monks to achieve.

Although some secret techniques allow cultivators to control spiritual treasures, they will destroy the spirituality of the spiritual treasures, greatly reducing their power. Some techniques do the opposite, without causing significant damage to the spiritual treasures, but the cultivators have to pay a heavy price. Unless a spiritual treasure is extremely powerful, the loss will outweigh the gain.

Among various methods, only a few can be truly perfected, and most of them are in the hands of major heritages and powerful forces in the art of refining.

There are different levels of secret techniques.

Relying on the Wujian Blood Mulberry and transforming the blood-filthy divine light is undoubtedly one of the most superior secret techniques, and it can even be used to subdue the spirits of acquired and innate spiritual treasures.

It is for this reason that the Wujian Blood Mulberry is listed among the ten sacred trees.

Qin Sang has the Wujian Blood Mulberry, but has not obtained the corresponding secret technique. If he uses the bloody divine light to directly pollute the Heaven-binding Golden Lock, it may anger the spiritual treasure and have the opposite effect.

The secret technique he obtained from the Five Elements Alliance was called Tai Heng Jue.

This is one of the best secret arts that the guest elders of the Five Elements Alliance can exchange for. It is certainly not the top secret art treasured by the Five Elements Alliance. It is inevitable that there are drawbacks, but these shortcomings are acceptable. With Qin Sang's attainments in the way of refining, he may be able to make up for the shortcomings and minimize the impact of the secret art on the Golden Lock.

Qin Sang already has some ideas about this, which need to be verified.

The blood refining technique passed down in "Zhongxuan Ce" can deepen the connection between cultivators and spiritual treasures. Qin Sang is ready to use his own essence and blood to feed back the spiritual treasure.

Before practicing the Tai Heng Jue, one needs to refine eight golden men first. Qin Sang has been planning this for a long time, and all the spiritual materials needed to refine the golden men have been prepared.

He came to the fire room and put the Golden Heaven-binding Lock aside first. The Qianjun Ring flashed with light, and balls of light shot out, hovering in the air, almost filling the fire room.

There are countless kinds of spiritual materials, which seem extremely complicated, but Qin Sang can methodically throw each kind of spiritual material into the spiritual fire. The timing and temperature are perfect and he handles it with ease.

Gradually, a faint dark golden light appeared in the flames.

After a while, the entire fire room was almost filled with a layer of dark golden luster. Qin Sang's eyes condensed slightly, and he slapped the spiritual fire with his backhand. The spiritual fire vibrated, and the flames split from the center. A dark golden light shot out and fell on Qin Sang's side.

'Boom! '

The ground shook and seemed very heavy.

This is a golden statue, half a person's height, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and all limbs intact. It is sitting cross-legged, with its hands flat on its knees, palms facing the sky, eyes open, and looking straight ahead.

Qin Sang took a look at the golden man, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to refine it. One golden man after another was refined. With his cultivation level, he failed twice before he refined eight golden men.

After putting away the extra spiritual objects, Qin Sang waved his sleeves, and the eight golden men scattered, each occupying the position of the Eight Trigrams.

Qin Sang closed his eyes slightly, silently recalling the "Tai Heng Jue". He had comprehended this secret technique in advance, but there were still some unclear points, which required the cooperation of the eight golden men to comprehend.

After a while, Qin Sang's expression and aura showed subtle changes. Under the traction of the aura, the golden light on the eight golden men was attracted to Qin Sang, dyeing Qin Sang's skin dark gold.

Then, the eight golden men seemed to come to life. Their eyes showed strange lights and slowly turned, staring at Qin Sang. Then they raised their right arms and pointed their index fingers at Qin Sang.

The eight golden men maintained this posture and no other unusual phenomena occurred, but there was always a mysterious aura flowing quietly between Qin Sang and the eight golden men.

Qin Sang's brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and finally he nodded slowly, said "So that's how it is", took a long breath, and stopped casting the spell.

The eight golden men retracted their arms and returned to normal.

Qin Sang calmed his mind and adjusted his breathing for a moment, then he summoned the Golden Sky Lock, making it float above his head. At the same time, he practiced the secret technique, and cast eight seals in succession, which penetrated into the bodies of the eight golden men.

"Buzz!"

The golden man rose into the air and surrounded the Sky Binding Golden Lock in the center. Just like before, he raised his arm and pointed at the Sky Binding Golden Lock.

Qin Sang did not move from where he was, practicing the secret technique with all his strength. Every once in a while, a slight fluctuation would appear in the void, and the golden light on the golden man would rise and fall accordingly. Then a ray of golden light emerged from his fingertips and shot towards the Golden Lock that Binded the Sky.

Not long after, the Golden Lock to Bind the Sky was enveloped by a ball of dark golden light, as if it was wrapped in a golden embryo.

Qin Sang's movements became more and more rapid, and he used seals and gestures frequently. Some of them hit the golden man, and most of them were immersed in the golden light embryo.

Mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of the Golden Lock in the Golden Light Embryo, and the patterns became denser and denser, as if they were penetrating into the Golden Lock. Qin Sang's perception was even clearer, and the invisible power formed by the Tai Heng Jue was approaching the spirituality of the Golden Lock.

As if sensing danger instinctively, the Golden Lock to Bind the Sky became restless, and Qin Sang immediately interrupted the secret technique.

Looking at the Sky-binding Golden Lock again at this time, it is shaking up and down in the golden embryo. The eight golden men are still playing a role, but they will not let the spiritual treasure feel the crisis, and will slowly let the spiritual treasure adapt and accept it.

Qin Sang raised his palms to his chest, clasped his hands into a bowl shape, and continued to practice Tai Heng Jue. Golden droplets condensed in his palms and gradually filled his palms. Qin Sang seemed to be extremely exhausted and his expression became a little listless.

The golden liquid was divided into eight parts and poured into the bodies of eight golden men.

Soon, the golden light became as thick as water, and the golden locks of the sky returned to calm. The hall was silent, but the changes had been going on silently.

Qin Sang sensed the energy of the eight golden men and nodded secretly. It would be a long and painstaking process to subdue the Heaven-binding Golden Lock. With the help of the eight golden men, he didn't have to waste time here.

However, this golden liquid will eventually run out and needs to be replenished every once in a while, and the consumption is more and more intense. Moreover, the eight golden men can only be used once before their power is completely lost and they become useless. The cost is not small.

As long as he could refine the Heaven-binding Golden Lock, all these costs would be worth it.

Qin Sang entered into a state of meditation for a long time before his breath was restored. He stood up and stepped back, but did not leave the fire room. He sat in a corner, ready to practice here to avoid any accidents.

The sword rang loudly, and the Gray Oriole Sword leaped into the air and circled above Qin Sang's head.

After a while, darkness spread, and Qin Sang and the spirit sword were swallowed by the darkness. In the fire room, darkness and golden light each occupied half, and they lived in peace.

The scene inside the sword formation was quite different.

The night sky is full of stars, and the stars turn into a galaxy, which is vast and boundless. At a glance, it can be roughly divided into four areas.

The west and south are the brightest, with distinct stars, while the north and east are two chaotic clusters of stars, like they are made up of nebulae, with almost no independent stars to be found.

Qin Sang appeared in the night sky, standing in the middle of the sky, taking in the starry sky in all directions, his eyes sweeping across the west and south.

The seven White Tigers in the west and the seven Vermillion Birds in the south have evolved completely, and the real Vermillion Bird is in charge of the south. As the Vermillion Bird breaks through the Void Refining Stage, the power of the Vermillion Bird Sword Formation in the south has reached a new level. Unfortunately, he only has one Vermillion Bird. If he can gather the four sacred beasts, and their cultivation is equal to that of the Vermillion Bird, not only will it be much easier to deduce the sword formation, but the power of the Four Symbols Sword Formation will also reach a terrifying level.

With this thought in mind, Qin Sang looked to the east and north again, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided to deduce the Eastern Azure Dragon Sword Formation first. To him, the two sword formations were at the same starting point, so it didn't matter which one came first.

With a flash of his figure, Qin Sang appeared in the center of the nebula, surrounded by chaotic light and shadows, as if stardust filled the void.

Qin Sang stood in the void, gazing at the nebula, with a host of complicated thoughts emerging in his mind.

There are certain commonalities among the Four Symbols Sword Formations. He first recalled the process of comprehending the Western White Tiger Sword Formation and deducing the Southern Vermillion Bird Sword Formation.

Then he recalled the revelation he had received from the Sword Path of Ziwei Palace. The revelation was vague, but extremely valuable. As long as he could comprehend it carefully and sort out the threads from it, he could continue to deduce it based on this trunk and avoid going astray.

Then, some images flashed through Qin Sang's mind. They were the scenes he saw in the Divine Court. The God of Talismans lived in the Divine Court, and each temple was like a star, arranged according to the laws of the heavenly way.

Recalling the Eastern Azure Dragon Star Region and referring to the Taoist scriptures he had read before, all of these could help him deduce the sword formation.

In fact, Qin Sang's idea to create the Zhoutian Xingdou Sword Formation originated from the Divine Court, and he later used it as a reference. When the sword formation is fully developed in the future, it can be regarded as a continuation of the Divine Court Fighting Department.

And the most precious thing is the insights gained from the sword domain over the years of comprehending the sword light of Master Tianyue.

These contents are mixed together and it is difficult to make sense of them.

Qin Sang's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were somewhat empty, he was immersed in it, his hands were unconsciously fiddling with the void in front of him.

The nebula was stirred by him, like a storm, and the surrounding nebulae began to vibrate, and soon collided and merged. The nebulae that were originally evenly distributed in the void began to show signs of dispersion and aggregation.

Where the dust gathers, more and more stardust gathers, the starlight becomes more and more dazzling, and band-like or floc-like stardust belts appear, and the stardust belts continue to condense, as if being sucked towards the center by a suction force.

First, a huge stardust disk is formed, and then it becomes a loose sphere with stardust flying around. The sphere continues to compress, and a star is formed!

Hidden beneath the surface is the change in sword intent.

This star was suspended in front of Qin Sang, emitting a sharp sword aura. It was a sword star!

"This could be the first star of the Jiao constellation..."

Qin Sang stared at the star and murmured.

Just as I said!

The stars shook violently and suddenly shot towards the depths of the nebula. Wherever they passed, the nebulae retreated. Finally, they stopped somewhere in the night sky, hanging high in the sky, shining brightly and illuminating the entire star field.

Jiao is the first constellation in the east, and it is the first star in the first constellation!

The establishment of this star is of great significance.

Qin Sang smiled, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. He quickly escaped from the sword formation and found that the luster of the eight golden men had dimmed, and the golden light embryo had become very illusory. After a while, it would no longer be able to continue.

"It's been so long..."

Qin Sang concentrated on deducing the sword formation and felt that it was only a moment.

He followed the same method to help the eight golden men stabilize their golden embryos, condense the golden liquid, and then return to the sword formation after regulating their breathing.

Looking at the first star of Jiaoxiu, Qin Sang recalled the process just now and found that this time the deduction of the sword formation was easier than expected. The reason was obvious. His cultivation was higher than before, and he had accumulated experience when deducing the Southern Vermillion Bird Sword Formation.

In addition, there is another crucial reason. As the cultivation level increases, it becomes easier to comprehend the true meaning of the "Purple Star Sword Sutra" and comprehend the sword light left by Master Tianyue, and the understanding of the sword domain becomes deeper.

Conversely, deducing the sword formation can also serve as a feedback, deepening his understanding of the way of the sword and helping him comprehend the sword light and sword domain.

In the following time, except for coming out from time to time to help the eight golden men, Qin Sang was completely immersed in the mysterious swordsmanship and forgot everything in the outside world.

While Qin Sang was in seclusion, Li Yufu was following his instructions, mobilizing the power of the Storm Realm, selecting a location, and building an altar.

With all the spiritual materials available, they only need to build it step by step. With the help of Su Nu and Zhu Que, the progress is rapid.

In the three major domains of the Storm Realm, altars are rising from the ground. Most of them are built in places with abundant spiritual energy and dense population, or in important road junctions. At the same time, corresponding spiritual formations, halls, pavilions, meditation rooms, etc. are also built. They are extraordinary and serve as the official residences of the immortal officials of the Five Thunder Court.

Coming out of the sword formation again, Qin Sang once again probed his spiritual consciousness into the Heaven Binding Golden Lock, and found that the repulsive force had obviously weakened a lot, and he could not help but nod secretly. He waited for the spiritual treasure to no longer repel him, and then he could start to refine it. During this period of time, not only did the Heaven Binding Golden Lock gradually yield, but the Eastern Azure Dragon Sword Formation had also been deduced to its prototype.

Qin Sang used his secret technique to condense the golden liquid, and added it to the eight golden men. He couldn't wait to continue deducing the sword formation, when the restriction outside the door was suddenly triggered.

The person who came was Li Yufu.

A moment later, Li Yufu's respectful voice came from outside.

"Master, all the altars for the transmission of talismans have been built, and only the last altar for the maintenance is left. I wonder when Master will be able to come out of seclusion?"

"Oh? Has the altar been built?"

During this retreat, Qin Sang completely forgot about time.

The darkness receded like a tide. Qin Sang recalled the Grey Oriole Sword, left the eight golden men and the Heaven-binding Golden Lock in the fire room, and pushed the door open to go out.

Next, he built the altar, conferred the talisman and taught the Dharma. His temple was truly formed! (End of this chapter)
